Re: Sennheiser Water Damage- help!!!!
Hi Elisa,
Often, a jeweler's screwdriver of the right size can fit the splines of a Torx head well enough to turn the screw.
You need to get the transmitter open and dry ASAP, before any corrosion of the components sets in. Salt water can do major damage very quickly. If corrosion has begun, you may be able to burnish it away with a glass fiber brush or small bits of Scotch-brite pad. Clean all components thoroughly with distilled water and completely dry them before reassembly.
It's a bad idea to power up any electronics that are possibly damp inside, as this may damage components.
Dry rice inside is unlikely to cause an electronic failure, although it could be a problem after it absorbs moisture.
Good luck!
